The Ether I/O 24 is an integrated, microcontroller-based network interface board with 24 digital user I/O lines. The module's firmware and hardware enable your devices or other modules to be connected to a generic Ethernet network and controlled using a command sent over the network via UDP. Each of the 24 User I/O lines operates at 5V DC maximum levels and can be programmed independently as an Input whose state can be sensed remotely via another network device, as an Input whose state is checked internally and transmitted when a change occurs, or as an Output whose state can be controlled remotely by another networked device.

Advanced configuration allows the modules to scan the input ports automatically and transmit changes directly to another ETHER I/O module without host connection, or to any internet port by router connection

On-board EEPROM allows all ports to power up in a user-programmable state

Programmable Fixed IP or Dynamic IP assignment from a DHCP server

Small packet size and connectionless protocol allows for real-time sensing and control

Can be connected to a wireless network gateway or access point for wireless operation
